Things to do a short bus/car ride away
Beautiful little village about 15mins drive away. Exploring the huge caves - Peak cavern, Speedwell cavern, Treak Cliff cavern (and lots more) is a great wet weather activity. A walk up to Peveril Castle or Mam Tor provides stunning views over the peaks. The drive to Castleton itself is beautiful too. Try the Peak Hotel if you’re looking for a cosy pub drink after a long walk.

This shop is a book lover’s adventure land. Rated one of the best secondhand bookshops in the uk. Seemingly small from the outside, inside are 40,000 books over 5 floors. It feels a bit magical / Harry Potter-esque!
